3vz-fe v6 3.0 (1992-1993) I have a 92 and it was great. Check the valve cover gaskets for leaks if they havn’t already been changed, the back which you cant see will be worse. Easy and cheap to replace but usually always need replacing. Also ( at least this happened to mine) check the brake lines (metal) under the car and make sure they are in good shape. Mine rusted out and sprang leaks. The needles in the gauges go out or dim, theres some solutions but usually arnt cheap, but also not always a big deal. Theres really not anything major that goes wrong. Overall its an excelent car, very reliable. If you wanna know more PM me. ---

Well where to begin with that one… That motor is known for oil sludge so make sure you pull the dip stick and check for gunk and pull the oil cap and check for gunk buildup. Pull the tranny dipstick if the fluid is black walk away because those trannies shit the bed, I see about 2-3 a week from those/camry’s with that mileage. valve cover gasket leaks, tranny pan leaks, oil pan gasket leaks, front engine seal leaks. Ask when the last timing belt/seals were done. They’re great cars, just known for massive oil leaks. Get me a VIN and i’ll run it in the toyota database @ work and see if its been maintained at a Toyota/Lexus dealer and whats been done to it. ---

3vzfe’s dont really have the oil sludge issues like the 1mzfe (1994-2001) but yes they tend to leak more oil. Timing belt should be changed again for the second time if it hasnt already.
